Why teams connect Quip and SAP

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Quip and SAP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Quip is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Messages, Users, Blobs, Documents in Quip with Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries, Billing Documents in SAP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Documents and Spreadsheets into Postgres or a warehouse, keyed on thread ID and refreshed when updated_usec advances, for search and reporting on account plans and notes.
  • 02 Write status rows from an operational database into a shared Quip Spreadsheet with update_spreadsheet_row so ops and deal-desk teams see live figures in-document.
  • 03 Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.
  • 04 Replicate journal entries and billing documents to a warehouse for finance analytics without loading the ERP.

Common sync patterns

Where SAP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP stays current in Quip, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Quip faces customers and SAP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP appears alongside the customer in Quip, so front-line teams answer from live data.

What you can sync between Quip and SAP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Quip objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Messages Comments and chat posts on a thread; the most recent are read with get_messages and new ones written with new_message. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Messages is specific to Quip and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Member records read individually or via contacts; get_authenticated_user identifies the token owner. Used read-only for directory-style syncs. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Users is specific to Quip and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Blobs Images and file attachments stored per thread; downloaded with get_blob and uploaded with put_blob against a specific thread ID. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Blobs is specific to Quip and Cost Centers to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Documents Editable rich-text threads addressed by ID; created and updated over REST via HTML or Markdown sections, with an updated_usec timestamp used to detect edits. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Documents is specific to Quip and Business Partners to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Spreadsheets Live-spreadsheet threads; rows and cells are read and written through add_to_spreadsheet and update_spreadsheet_row helpers on the same thread endpoints. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Spreadsheets is specific to Quip and Materials (Products) to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Private, Shared, and Group containers that organize threads; membership is added or removed via the folders endpoints for access control. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment. Folders is specific to Quip and Sales Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Quip and SAP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Quip SAP Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Quip for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on thread updated_usec timestamps — get_recent_threads paginates by max_updated_usec.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

SAP Quip Sub-second propagation

DetectionSAP notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Quip through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Quip: Automation API allows roughly 50 requests per minute per access token; exceeding it returns HTTP 503, and responses carry X-RateLimit headers.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.
